Scallywags Long Daycare and Preschool has recently been awarded an Exceeding rating for their early learning education service as part of the NSW Government’s Assessment and Rating system.
Mayor Robert Taylor remarked this is an exceptional result for Scallywags and reflective of the professionalism and dedication of its team members.
“Council is immensely proud that Scallywags has once again received an overall Exceeding rating for its early learning service. This achievement follows their previous Exceeding rating received in 2021.
“The Assessment and Rating visit is conducted by authorised officers and assesses early learning centres against National Quality Standards. They measure service practice quality to ensure children have an excellent education and care experience.
“I would like to congratulate the dedicated and professional educators who bring their passion and care to Scallywags each and every day to ensure children receive top quality care. Each member of Scallywags plays an important role, and this rating wouldn't be possible without their hard work and compassion. Congratulations Scallywags!” said Mayor Taylor.
Scallywags Long Day Care and Preschool is open for operation from 8am until 6pm weekdays and caters for up to 60 children each day.
